    Thanks, I can't understand why stamp collectors would want ordinary UK 1st and 2nd class stamps. They're nothing special - just everyday stamps and there's millions of them! It takes all sorts I suppose! ;)

    Hello, Please advise if you still buy used postage stamps. We are a small local charity based in the North East. Many thanks
    Rona

    Yes I do still buy stamps from charities.
    It's non profit making scheme and I do it because I am a carer for my disabled children.
    It gives me so much as I love stamps and it's so good to give something back.
    I have a website here with all the info: www.jetstamps.org

    Feel free to contact me directly from the website if that is easier.

    ps. I hope it's OK that I've put my website link here and hope I haven't broken any rules.

    Best wishes

    Lynne

    Hi everyone,
    I have bags of used postage stamps - does anyone know of a buyer in the Dorset area preferably (Hants/Wilts at a push). I want the money to go to a particular charity based in Dorset so want to keep it local if possible. Thanks.

    You can also take them into your local Christian Church as they use them to send stuff to 3rd world countries for parcels
    God helps make my veggie patch grow. He provides everything I need.. It only fails if I do NOT do as He has told me!!

    Imagine if Christianity spread like swine flu... how much better the world would be!! God Bless!
